WORK SPECTATING

When you're surfing the internet, and your nosey co-workers comment on your "not working".

My co-workers here are always work spectating. I was shooting off a quick email to my husband in Iraq and they are always saying I'm not doing my workload! Funny, they are too busy seeing what everyone else is doing and NOT doing their work!!

workable prototype

What management calls your software development project when they are afraid to tell their managers that the project no one wants you to work on is actually almost done and WILL be used by real people to do real work. This is usually some project that is very important and was ok'd by your manager in the first place, they just never got their managers ok.

me: Boss, I can't deliver a prototype to the customer, our crazy process won't allow it!
Boss: Yes you can, it's a workable prototype. Trust me, when I met with management I left a lot of wiggle room.
me: What the hell is a workable prototype? Prototypes are not real working code, but our code works and they want to use it!
Boss: We're working on that.

Workation

Changing the routine after work, staying in a local hotel, camping or over indulging for a few days.

Why do I smell like a campfire, workation.

Work Sweater

Chest hair shaved to have the borders of a sweater. When done with adequate amounts of full, thick chest hair, it can substitute for an actual sweater when you are short on clothing.

Henry: "Dude, have you seen Chad's work sweater?"
Frank: "Yeah, man. Even when he got no clothes, he still ready for work."

Work pyjamas

Loose trousers that feel like pyjamas but are acceptable to wear at work.

I love my work pyjamas, they are so comfortable!

Work chicken

Work chicken is a game, played at work where two or more players try to avoid doing anything to do with their job. The last player to stay idle wins.

"It's so easy playing work chicken with Cal, he's such a tool!"

work camouflage

Camouflaging yourself at work to blend in with or behind the furniture while you slack. Typically done the day before a vacation or on a Friday.

Man, I didn’t get anything done today. My work camouflage was in full effect.
